Pancakes....

I had the most delicious pancakes of my gluten-free life this a.m. I've tried making pancakes with Pamela's mix and other mixes & recipes but while they were good, they didn't replace those wonderful Bisquick pancakes.

Then, Nini gave me an idea! She told me that she uses Gluten Free Pantry's Quick Mix as a 1:1 substitute in all of the Bisquick recipes (the "Impossible Pies," etc.) I haven't tried those casserole-type dishes yet, but this morning I thought I'd follow her suggestion by substituting GFP Quick Mix for Bisquick in the Bisquick pancake recipe (found online)....OMG!! For those of you who grew up with Sunday morning pancakes and just haven't found "the right pancake" recipe since going gluten-free you have got to try this. I've been gluten free for a year, but one bite of pancake this morning took me back to the dining room breakfast table of my childhood!

Thank you, Nini, for another great tip!!!

I don't see anything magical in the ingredients in their mix--can't we mix up the same ingredients ourselves and not go broke buying pancake mix?

I don't mean to diss Glutenfree Pantry--I just get angry when I see them charging 7 bucks for about 50 cents worth of ingredients. Or is it my local grocery store who is marking it up that high?

it's your local store marking it up that high... I got a bunch of it on sale last month for $2.50 each...

Oh my gosh, as of now all I can think of is PANCAKES...... :huh: I've just gotta make these! Don't have the mix....any idea on flour substitution? I've got several flours.....may just go experiment but it might not be pretty.......

Well, that's certainly better than 7 bucks! I think my local grocery thinks it's doing us a huge favor by offering anything gluten-free at all, but I refuse to let them hold my bank account hostage for something that I can whip together in 2 minutes! :ph34r:

Come to think of it, even $2.50 for a bag of pancake mix that only makes one batch is awfully pricey compared to Bisquick or even compared to the Asian grocery store prices of 69 cents a pound for finely ground rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch. And cornstarch can be bought in bulk at Costco.

Darn it, I'm still mad!

Here's what I use:

gluten-free Pancake/Waffle Mix (BULK)

2 cups brown rice flour

2 cups white rice flour

2 cups potato starch

1 cup tapioca flour

1 cup cornstarch

4 Tablespoons baking powder

8 Tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons salt

4 teaspoons xanthan gum

Mix it all together, and store it in something airtight. For pancakes, mix 2 cups of mix with 1 1/2 cups of milk (buttermilk works nicely, as does a mix of yogurt and milk), 3 eggs, 4 Tablespoons of oil, and a teaspoon of vanilla.

Sometimes I find myself needing to add much more milk, depending on how thick the buttermilk is.

You can use all brown rice flour or all white rice flour, too.

Serve with REAL maple syrup and butter--yum yum yum!!!!

Oh no, it doesn't require the entire mix. Use the GFP "Quick Mix" as a 1:1 substitute for Bisquick. I think I used 1/2 c milk (darifree) 1 egg and 1 cup Quick Mix. This made 4 very large pancakes...plenty for hubby and me.

Sure, you can mix it yourself and do other flour combos. Pancakes can be made a multitude of ways. DH and I were very happy with these that REALLY tasted like "glutenous" Bisquick pancakes.

No recipe/idea is right for everyone. If you have a method you like, stick with it. Certainly, if the above suggestion doesn't fit your style and needs, you're free to not try it.

As I said in my original post, "For those of you who grew up with Sunday morning pancakes and just haven't found 'the right pancake' recipe since going gluten-free you have got to try this."

YUMMMMYYYY!!!! :D

I'm sorry, Jaten, I didn't mean to imply that Nini's idea/recipe wasn't great--just that #1) it is not affordable for me (I have a family of 5, all hungry), and #2) I think there is a way to exactly duplicate the mix far more affordably.

These are the ingredients of the quick mix:

Ingredients:

Brown rice flour, white rice flour, cornstarch, powdered buttermilk, crystallized honey, xanthan gum, baking powder (sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate, mono-calcium phosphate), baking soda, salt.

The bulk of the ingredients is the mix of 3 flours, which, as I said, cost 69 cents a pound. The cheapest I've ever seen it at my local grocery is $5.99, on sale.

OMG......pancake update.......after reading these posts yesterday, I found my unopened bag of Bob's gluten-free Baking Mix......and made my pancakes (adding a smidgen of xantham gum and a bit of vanilla)......holy lord, I was in utter heaven.....they were the MOST delicious little dream-cloud fluffs, cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside (I like mine quite thin, like crepes so added more water). With heated butter and pure maple syrup...... :rolleyes: I ate so many that I felt a bit sick, actually, and lapsed into sort of a... "pancake coma?" :huh:

And then, there was more batter left over, couldn't see wasting it so ate some more later. :huh: And then I felt really quesy during my afternoon Christmas shopping.....but in a good and satisfied pancake-y sort of way. :) Oh, my, they were tasty......and now my pancake urge is satisfied for at least another month or so. But it was SO nice to have something that was even BETTER, actually, than the kind I used to eat (Krusteaz)!!!

Don't have naything to say about pancakes but after hearing nini talk so much about the Gluten Free Pantry Quick Mix I have been on a hunt for it in my area. They don't carry it at the stores here, but they special ordered it for me and I'll get it tomorrow. I am excited to try it, I'm making biscuits with it for Christmas Eve.

I will have to try making pancakes with it too, they sound good!

Nini, Where did you find it for 2.50? It's 4.95 on the GFP web site and our local markets don't carry that particular mix. I live in Illinois across the river from St. Louis.

Where do I find the Gluten Free Pantry's Quick Mix recipe? I am looking for the perfect pancake that tastes like the Bisquick pancake and still can't find one. Already tried Pam's and thought it was doughy on the inside even though the outside was dark.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
